RAINY DAYS IN KAWERAU

Me N Max have been down in Kawerau for the weekend. It started raining when we left Auckland on Friday and it was pretty much raining when we got there 5 hours later, and all the next day, and yep still raining on Sunday. So alot of mooching about by yours truly. I'm not complaining, this is the face of a happy camper.... warm and dry and not having to do much more than guard the bus.

Mum was stewarding at a Champ Show, which meant she got to stand out in the field and tell people and their dogs when to turn left and right and sit down. And it rained......

And it rained......

And me N Max mooched

And mooched a bit more ...

By Sunday we had mooching down to a fine art....

Even the doormat was getting into the swing of it......

At least we didn't have it rough out in the rain like these poor sods....

Max was meant to be doing some of his dancing training and we even lugged his great big box down with us but it was too wet to get it out of the van. Mum said we're not lugging that beast all the way round the planet for it not to be useful. So she found a use for it.

Despite cramped conditions we did manage to set up a film studio inside and film the new trick that Max's mum has taught him. And then I gave it a whirl.

We got a flat tyre on the way home and had to wait for the AA guy to come and fix it for us. Max keeping an eyeout.

THING ONE & THING TWO

Life's a lark when you're a travellin Border Terrier. This weekend saw me and my mate Max down at a dog show in Tauranga in the Sunny Bay of Plenty. We weren't in the dog show, we were just practising our serious mooching, which I'm pleased to advise we have down to a fine art.

And then there were three. Check this out, we met a Max Mk II by the name of Chip. One of these things is not like the other......

Go on Max, be sociable, he obviously uses the same hair dye as you matey - "Blonde Glam"

THING ONE & THING TWO

YOU ARE NOT SEEING DOUBLE

THING ONE AND THING TWO

I THINK I SMELL TROUBLE

LITTLE DOG WEEKEND

This weekend my buddy Max the Maltese and I jumped in the van and took off up to Mangawhai Beach for a guys weekend. We'd arranged to meet my friend Blackie the Border Terrier there. Actually Blackie is from the clan of Chytrugh as well so he's really one of my cuzzy bro's. That's me the shaggy guy on the left and Blackie in the middle - all is not as it appears!!!

Blackie thought he was just there for a mooching weekend but "someone who shall remain nameless" had a surprise in store for him. Dude, listen to me, run for it now.

I can see you are really not paying attention, instead of posing for the camera you might want to leg it back to your van...... I'm not gonna tell you again...

Ah well, too late now, mate, you are about to be stripped. Four hours if you're lucky, "someone who shall remain nameless" is not that quick about it. You're here for a long time not a good time.

What you looking at??

I did hear someone say that "Blackie was a perfect gentleman". So am I aren't I? Here's proof of me being a perfect gentleman. I shared my chair with Blackie.....

Let him drink out of my water bowl......

Lounge about all over my yellow blankie........ at least he didn't drop any hairs on it, he didn't have any hairs left poor sod.

Janna, could you bring out some treaties for me and my mate?

Shared my treaties....... how much more sharing is expected of a guy......

Even this weeks movie is all about Blackie.......... I too am a perfick gentleman.... mebbe just a barky one.
